Bardo Music - Geoffrey Raines

Beach Glass

The tide don’t see what it takes
But keeps each promise it makes
You started sharp as a knife
Now dulled by the years
Once broken-on-rocks in the night
Now I hold you up to the light
Your luck has worn you down
And dropped you here

Where there’s beauty in being broken
There’s joy in being worn
Where you’re softened by time
And the promise of heading home

You say “nothing is what it appears”
You’ve seen it all coming for years
“The water will have its say
But beauty remains”
I don’t know if you’re right
So I hold you up to the light
Your smile a distant shore
The sea won’t claim

I’m not who I was when I found you
On that shoreline I was woken
You were made to last
By the blessing of the ocean

Where there’s beauty in being broken
There’s joy in being worn
Where you’re softened by time
And the promise of heading home
